Okay, I really hope Harry Potter fans like this story, it doesn't fully follow the plot that J. K. Rowling wrote, but it will have a lot of similarities. This starts out during the 3rd book, Prisoner of Azkaban. I hope you enjoy, please review. I'd really like to know if you like it or not. I don't own anything related to Harry Potter except my Oc. (Kara Anglewood). Thanks hope you enjoy, oh and this is my first Harry Potter fanfic. -Chinaluv
The Invisible Horlcruxes
Chapter 1: The secret letters
Hermione Granger's point of view
I was dying to tell Harry and Ron the truth about why I have two more classes then they do, my time turner was starting to drive me crazy, at least the end of the year was soon approaching. After this year I'd have to return my time turner because next year I'd have no use for it. No one even knew about it, other than Professor McGonagall, Headmaster Dumbledore, and my roommate Kara. The only reason she knew was because she had one as well. I have no idea why though, she didn't have any more classes than a regular third year did.
The Gryffindor girl's dormitory main room was empty except for me. I don't even know why I was up. I was probably around 2 am. I was going to go to bed soon but first I needed to look at something in a book I checked out of the library. I grabbed the book from my bag, It was entitled The Rise of Werewolves: History of the Ancient Race, I carefully put it on my lap and opened it. I was reading peacefully until someone tapped me on the shoulder. I expected it to be Ginny Weasly because Ron and Harry couldn't possibly want to sneak into the girl's dormitory. I turned slowly and saw my roommate Kara Anglewood.
"Hi Kara," I said in a nicest way I could. I sort of wanted to be alone… Although, it was two am…
"Hey Hermione, I was wondering if you could help me with the potions home work professor Snape gave us. I wasn't there for the lesson the other day." She seemed sort of hesitant. I have no idea why she would be though. To be honest I didn't even know she wasn't there last class. She's so quiet and never really says anything.
"Sure, no problem Kara. If you don't mind me asking, where were you last class?" I questioned and possibly upset her.
"I was at the infirmary, I wasn't feeling good." She explained in a sort of fake voice. I could just tell she was lying.
"Oh, okay, I stopped there right after class though. I wanted to see how Harry was. He left during the class. Maybe he saw you?" I could see what I said upset her and she started to blush a little. Now I was really starting to get curious. I knew she was at least partially lying about her visit to the infirmary, madam Pomfrey said that no third year Gryffindor visited her around that time.
"I saw Harry, he talked to madam Pomfrey and I heard him say something about talking do headmaster Dumbledore." I could see that she knew that I had a feeling she was lying.
"Oh, well she we get started on the homework?" I asked and she nodded as I said it. She sat down on the chair next to mine. We grabbed or books and opened then. I looked at her slightly. She pulled her deep black hair into a ponytail. She was wearing her pajamas. When she mover her hands to fix something I noticed a dark red almost line on her left shoulder. I guessed she realized I noticed something because she quickly stopped what she was doing and looked back at her book.
"Shall we get started?" She asked rather quickly. This time I nodded and we began. It took about an hour to do the homework. Well, all I did was help her. I had already done the homework that was due tomorrow so I just helped her though it. It was sort of weird, I could tell she didn't have that much trouble with it. I guessed she didn't want to be upstairs in our room alone. She just came into Hogwarts this year. It was sort of weird if you ask me. All Hogwarts students are supposed to start when they are 11, not 13. I guess I'd just have to wait and ask her about that later. When we were just about done I decided to ask her what was really on my mind.
"So um Kara, why wait until now to ask about the homework? It's like 3 am now." I asked wanting to see why she waited.
"You seemed to be busy earlier with Ron and Harry. Besides, I fell asleep earlier and then sort of woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. Sorry if I've kept you up." Part of me didn't believe her. Well, I was hanging out with Harry and Ron earlier. But, I don't think she just suddenly woke up. I think she probably had a nightmare or something. I did hear a scream earlier… Plus, I've heard her mumbling stuff in her sleep. It was sort of weird, Harry did that a lot too this year.
"Oh, alright. Well if you're done we should probably go to bed now." She smiled at me, I have no idea why though.
"Yeah, you can go on ahead. I have to do something first." I could tell there was something off about that excuse, it was far too vague and she seemed sort of scared. I nodded at her anyway. Whatever was wrong she could probably handle it herself, besides I was really getting tired.
I walked up to our room and saw two sheets of parchment paper on Kara's bed. From what I could see one of the notes was from someone named moony, and the other was from head master Dumbledore. I was really curious and wanted to read them badly, but that would be beyond nosy and besides, I could hear her coming. I just ignored them for now. I changed into my pajamas and then slipped into bed.
The next morning I saw Kara's bed somewhat made and without her. I figured she'd just left to go somewhere, probably the library. Now was my chance. I looked on her desk and saw one of the letters. The letter from Dumbledore was gone. I guessed she either hid it or took it with her. I grabbed the note from the person called moony and read it. It said.
Kara,
It has come to my attention that I know the truth about you, well all that Dumbledore would tell me. I know you're an interesting girl and the power you possess is a gift and yet a curse. I know what it's like carrying a huge secret that you're dying to tell everyone. You have to trust me though; you need to keep it to yourself. You're in a lot of danger now, more so than ever. He's here, he's visited me and I think he may be after you. You need to be really careful and cautious in the near future. Just be warned and watch your back. He's here at Hogwarts and he knows where you'll be and like me he knows the truth. Come by and visit me any time, except for when it's full. –Moony.
After reading the note twice I quickly knew what moony was. There's a werewolf at Hogwarts. He's dangerous… I should probably go tell Harry. There was one thing I was really confused about. Why was something, or someone after Kara? What kind of power did she possess and why was she lying to me last night? Before leaving I put the letter exactly where I had found it. I nearly ran out of my room and hurried to the Gryffindor common room. I nearly ran into some one. Kara….
"Oh, sorry Hermione, I needed to say thanks again for last night. You're truly awesome. Well, I see you're in a hurry so bye. Thanks again." I smiled at her and ran to where Harry and Ron were. I quickly pulled them over to a corner of the room and hushed them.
"One of the professors isn't who we think he is. There's a were wolf at Hogwarts. Oh, and one of the third year girls in Gryffindor is hiding something. I know it. We just need to find out why and what. I know one thing, whoever attacked you Ron wasn't just after you." I looked at them, their faces were stunned and I guess in shocked… I looked over to the clock. "Now come one time to go." I said and they followed. I'd have to tell them the truth about the note, everything at breakfast or something.
Well I hope you enjoyed please review. I apologize for this not being 100% like the book…
